Hey, anyone chance of updating the mod?

Once you get the hang of it, SNT is actually very simple—and useful—to use, as it gives you way more control over the game. If you want to become a "real" cop, then I suggest you get vehicle and ped textures that correspond to a real life police department, as the default LCPD textures look pretty cheesy. I would also suggest for you to get weapons of your liking, along with realistic weapon sound mods, like this one. Go to modding websites like GTA4-Mods.com and just search for anything that you might like. For example, most people choose Glocks to replace the default handgun, while I like the HK MK23 SOCOM much better and have replaced the pistol with that. As for car mods, I tried to get those that looked like the ones used by the police department I am emulating in my game (SFPD) the most, so I installed any that had a Code 3 X2100 lightbar. I am actually using a myriad of mods at the same time, so again, if you're specific about what you want, I can give you some suggestions. Otherwise, I'd just have a laundry list of mods...



Well, it depends on what you mean by "special." Graphics-wise, I do use an ENB mod, which enormously improves and enhances the visuals of the game. I use iCEnhancer 2.0, and if you haven't seen it in action already, again, for what it looks like. In additon, and also in those screenshots, I am currently using many of my own custom textures and mods, so I consider them "special" to me (also, they are WIP and not yet released). Other than those, I can't think of anything else that's "special," as many mods I am using are also used by many others as well.

Well, hope that helps you! Happy modding!

The problems you are experiencing are not due to LCPD:FR per se, but rather due to the car pack you installed. I don't recommend installing car packs of any sort because they cause more problems than the fun you get out of using them. Instead, I recommend you pick and choose individual car mods to install, so that you can try each one out in the game individually and remove those that are causing problems for your game.

Here are some simple troubleshooting steps for your problems, since all three are well-known problems that could have been easily solved by searching this forum or on Google.



1) The reason the car isn't showing up is because you are causing the game to use more resources than is available on your computer by installing too many mods. Your ped is standing in midair and can't move because the car that he's supposed to be in has failed to load, causing an error in the game. If you have not attempted this already, open the FirstResponse.ini file, and change the setting "PreloadAllModels = False" to "PreloadAllModels = True." This will force the vehicles to be loaded into the game so that other textures cannot take their place. However, a side effect of this may include disappearing textures, as insufficient resources is ultimately the cause of disappearing textures.



2) The taxi bug is normal if you install high-poly car mods, and I have no doubt that the car pack you installed included all high-poly, ELS-enabled car mods. To fix this problem, simply download and install a traffic mod fix, such as TrafficLoad or Be forewarned: these mods need more system resources than usual, since it loads more high-poly models into the game. If you already have insufficient system resources, then you'll see even more disappearing textures, in which case it is not recommended to use them—they will eventually cause your game to crash as your system runs out of memory.



3) The car pack you installed probably included all ELS-enabled cars. To get the lights to work, you need to download and install ELS.

Hope this helps! If problems persist, please post a diagnostics report using the diagnostics tool for further troubleshooting.

You're welcome! Glad I helped you out!

And yes, you can easily have more than one partner if you use SNT to spawn them. As I recall, you can only spawn up to 7 that will follow you around. Just set them as bodyguards and they will follow and protect you. I actually like spawning partners this way rather than going into the police station and getting one, as not only am I able to have more than one partner, but I can also customize my partners' ped, clothing, voice, weapon, etc.
